“Godparent”
I somehow managed to clear the misunderstanding, so we started eating breakfast.
While in the castle, breakfast, lunch, and dinner were a must.
It doesn’t matter if we’re out training.
We still have to follow that habit.
– Come on, open wide.
– Aaa… Mg.
I gave the girl a spoonful of meat.
It would’ve been nice if she ate by herself, but when we tried that, she could barely hold the spoon and wouldn’t stop spilling soup on herself.
– Isyummy.
– I’m glad.
Her energy seems to have returned thanks to the antidote. Her fur wasn’t dirty anymore, and every strand of her hair was shining in contrast to the sun. She’s still suffering severe malnutrition, but that’s not something we can fix in one day.
Seeing her happy face while eating made me glad I took the decision of saving her.
– By the way, what’s with the “Master”? Is it because I helped you?
She finished chewing what she had left in her mouth, then looked at me.
– Master, you saved me. Even though I tried to eat you, you saved me. I’m so grateful.
The girl brushed her cheeks against mine.
She probably just feels indebted to me.
– I’ve always been alone. So lonely, so cold, so afraid… But no one helped me. Except you, Master.
– So you wanted to thank me for that?
– Yes! I decided I want to serve you, so you’re now my Master, Master.
She must’ve thought a lot about how to repay me.
It’s not like I wanted anything in return though. I didn’t want to abandon her and become like “them”.
– So, what if I said that you don’t need to serve me? Actually, what if I said it would be better if you didn’t? You could finish your rice and go your own way.
– Master… You don’t… want me?
– It’s just hypothetical. What would you do if I said “I don’t need a servant”.
– Uuu~
After doubting for a bit.
– No.
That was her response.
– I want to be with you, Master. You’re nice, warm, and I don’t feel lonely when I’m with you.
She threw a tantrum and clung to me.
Is this the first time someone has been nice to her?
And now that she found someone that was gentle to her, she can’t let go.
I kind of understand the feeling.
– Takaya, you started this nonsense. It’s your responsibility to see it through.
– I know, I know. I was intending to do it anyway.
I kept thinking while patting her head.
This must be how Meirir felt when she found me.
– Sorry for the weird question. I know I helped you, but I didn’t want you to feel indebted to me.
– So can I be your servant!?
– Of course. In fact, it would be great! Especially since you’re much stronger than Akan-
– HUH?
– Oh hey uhm sorry haha I got carried away I’m sorry!
I immediately apologized due to the kindness of my heart and not due to the katana in my close proximity.
She’s as scary as always. Better not joke around.
She’d be cuter if she was more honest.
– *Sigh*… So, Takaya, what name will you give her?
– Hm?
– Don’t act dumb. She’s your pet now, so name her. You know, something like Raigoumaru or Ginjirou.
Pet? She’s a girl… But Akane does have a point.
If we’re going to be together from now on it would be weird to keep calling her “The girl”.
I have to give her a proper name.
But there was an issue.
– Come on. What will it be?
– Hmm, let me think…
After a couple of seconds of silence, I came up with a name.
– How about “Mike”? (*)
– …Are you serious?
I have the worst naming skills in this world.
